Summary From the Spring of 1943 to early 1944, the Allies were pounding Nazi Germany by day and by night. By day, formations of 8th Air Force B-17 Flying Fortresses would battle their way through heavily defended skies to deliver their deadly bomb-loads. At night it was the turn of the Lancasters of RAF Bomber Command to take the war to Germany. There was much talk of 'area bombing' and 'precision bombing' - but ordinary German civilians paid a terrible price for their leader's ambitions.
